FundamentalVR announced today that it integrated new AI capabilities into its Fundamental Surgery platform for immersive surgical training.
Boston-based FundamentalVR said the new integration drives predictive insights, enhances surgical proficiency and accelerates skills acquisition. The data can drive valuable insights for customers, fostering advancements in surgical training and beyond.
Utilizing AI, FundamentalVR’s real-time data assessments can now predict surgical behavior and performance with more accuracy. The algorithms allow the platform to track and analyze user gestures through telemetry data. In some cases, the company reports predictive accuracy at a rate of 98.5%.
Predictive modeling provides analytics and data science techniques for more informed decisions around product design, training efficacy and user skill levels. Ultimately, FundamentalVR says this enhances surgical techniques and could improve patient outcomes.
Through advanced ML models, the technology also calculates users’ risk levels of harming patients in real time. This enables immediate intervention and correction within a training experience to foster safer training environments.
Vicky Smalley, FundamentalVR’s chief technology officer, says the company focused on learner autonomy and personalized, adaptive learning support. This helped to “cultivate user engagement while fostering a culture of continuous improvements,” Smalley said.
“Our AI-driven approach marks a transformative shift in surgical training,” said Richard Vincent, co-founder and CEO at FundamentalVR. “By providing real-time insights and personalized guidance, Fundamental Surgery is revolutionizing how surgeons acquire and refine their skills, ultimately leading to safer and more effective patient care.”
